Spring Ready

This weekend has been fantastic. It finally finally feels like spring. I was able to go to the beach in a fleece of course and stroll down the street through the shops in East Hampton in flats and Toms and I didn’t feel cold at all. I hope everyone’s weekend was great and you got to enjoy your time outdoors. This is such an easy-breezy outfit to wear on the weekends. If you’re a nautical gal like myself you have tons of variety of stripes. Adding a blazer and skinny jeans with nude and effortless flats was a no-brainer.
